Answer #1

Interest rate = 8 % p.a. or 0.08/365 = 0.00021917808 per day

Crassus sold the note for $ 25,800.

Crassus got interest amount = Sales cost – Principal = $ 25,800 - $ 25,000 = $ 800

Interest amount = Principal x Interest rate x Time

$ 800 = $ 25,000 x 0.00021917808 x T

$ 800 = $ 5.479452055 x T

T = $ 800 / $ 5.479452055 = 146 days

Pompey bought the note on November 28 (i.e. July 5 + 146 days)
